Bank Robbery

Apparently, all you need to successfully rob a bank is a trench coat, a fedora, and a gun. Or at least that's how Public Enemies made it seem. That's what I did with my Tuesday night, went to McD's with Lee and then met Clark Kent and Xander at the movie theater and watched Public Enemies. All that shooting was soo intense. I was definitely glad to have something to do during the week besides frisbee (which has gotten far too competitive for my taste).

Well, I guess I'll talk about this past weekend....

Friday- Moos and I went over to Dragon's house and watched Devil Wears Prada. I love that movie sooo much. After it was over, we sat in Dragon's living room and talked for a while until Moos decided that it was time to go.

Saturday- I got my haircut at 9. Then traveled to SG & J's 5th birthday party. I love love love those kids. It was at a local daycare/school and had a ball pit, playground, and party room. Really really cool. After that, I picked up CK and Xander and we headed to the zoo (because it was free) and met up with Dragon, Moos, Ji, and several other friends. The zoo thinks it's funny to take all the animals away from free zoo nights, so we left and went to Steak n Shake. After eating CK, Xander, McD and I went to see The Hangover. HILARIOUS. and then we headed back to the Ville.

Sunday- I hung out for a while, and then Lemon and I went to get some delicious Chinese food. After eating, we went to frisbee. I spent about an hour there and then went to see HP6 with some friends. After the movie we got a late night meal at Denny's and laughed and laughed about stupid things.

Overall, the past weekend was fantastic. And I'm glad because I only have... 38 days til college. :(

The day from H-E-double hockey sticks

Let's just say that today didn't start off so good.... I woke up around 645 and tried to go back to sleep but instead just kept waking up every hour. I finally got out of bed around 10 and started what I thought was going to be another regular day of babysitting followed by some frisbee. Boy was I wrong. Well, I got up, took a shower, and sat down on the computer to watch The Secret Life from Monday night. About halfway through the episode I got a call from my dad telling me that I left his car's lights on last night. (His car is really confusing. There isn't an "off" button for the lights) . And he told me to go out and try to start it. So, I went out into the garage, put the key in, turned and prayed. To my surprise, the car went "chugga chugga chugga VROOM" and started up. I was happy and went back to my show. At 1215 I went back out to start the car and get the boys....but this time when I turned the key it went "chugga chugga crunch... silence" Of course the car would start up when I didn't need it to and decide to die when I needed it.

I called the preschool and told Ro that I'd be a little late getting the boys and went to work trying to get the car seats out of my dad's car and into mine. Why didn't anyone ever tell me how freaking hard it is to get a car seat out of a car and into another. I finally gave up (drenched in sweat and tears I might add) after getting Droodle's into the Status. I figured Carty would be okay driving the two minutes from preschool to his house in just a regular seatbelt. I grabbed their house key and finally made my way over to the school, picked up the boys, and took them home. We went into the house and I called to their dog, Monty, to tell him to go outside. As soon as I said the word "out" Monty decided to squat and pee on the freaking carpet... not the tile where it would be easy to clean... the CARPET, so I had to scrub scrub it out. YUCK!!! The boys were rowdy as ever and caught a little bit of cabin fever, but in the end, they brought my mood up with their sugar. :D

I had Grandma take me home when she came to get the boys. And hoped to get a ride to frisbee. This is the point where my day turned around. Xander called and picked me up. We went to frisbee, which was unusually empty, and hung out. I spent the first game or so catching up with Dragon. After that a bunch of people left so we played a 5/5 game and a 4/4 game. My first team (Ang, Clark Kent, Quadriplegic, and All-star.. i think) won, the second team(All-star, Clark Kentm and Phil) lost by one point, but it was fun nonetheless. Having smaller teams meant that boys actually trusted me to catch the frisbee, and I think I did pretty good. Snagged a few, dropped some, threw a few good short throws.... good times. Maybe next time, I'll actually be picked for a team instead of having to pick my own. Oh well, frisbee definitely turned my day around. Afterwards, Xander and I hit up Wendy's as I was starving after actually playing... Good times.
Tomorrow marks the last day with my babies. :(

Swap week

Dragon and I are having a personality swap week. I am more of a planner and she's more of a spontaneous person, so this week we decided to change it up a little. We came up with the idea on Saturday night whilst driving around Viera. So far, I'm doing pretty good at being spontaneous. Today I picked up the boys from school and spontaneously decided to go to the park. On the way there, I had the thought that I should go by Xander's and drop off his beach pass/say hi. He was on the way to the park so it was pretty easy. After watching the boys I got a text from CK telling me to meet him and Xander at the pizza place for dinner. In honor of spontaneous week, I decided to go, despite the fact that I only had an hour before I had to be back with my boys and the stupid shuttle was going up. Boy, do I hate Smallsville when the shuttle is supposed to launch!

Because of Dragon's switch to planner, I do have a few things planned for the week. But they could change because of my switch. :D Tomorrow is Iron Chef at Lee's house. We haven't had on in a while so it should be fun. Wednesday is, of course, frisbee. Friday we might go dancing. Saturday is what I'm looking forward to the most...... but more about that later.

For now, just call me Dragon.

Spontaneity

Today's happenings...

I woke up at 745 to go to brekins with my Loverface. I had gone to sleep around 3, but didn't feel the least bit tired when I got up.... Anywho, my Lover and I ate together before her flight to Ill. It was good seeing her and we had lots and lots to talk about. I can't wait for her to get home!!!!!!

After brekins, I headed to Weegie's house to get the car seats for Carty and Droodle next week. I ended up staying for an hour or so to play with my favorite little boys and talk to their mommy about life. I love my boys and I can't wait to be with them all next week. Park time, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Movies, Cannonballs, and Hide & Seek are on the agenda.

I got home, talked to my roomie for a little bit and then headed to the baby shower. Yummy food, awesome people, fun games (which my fellows bridesmaid and I cheated at). Who knew that baking powder and baby powder tasted the same? I talked to the mommy-to-be about college since she graduated from my school a year or two ago. She gave me a list of things to get and then I left and came back home.

Dragon called after that and told me that the zoo was free on Saturdays. We drove down that way and realized that it was raining too hard to go see animals so we decided to go to World's Market and get some European candies. Then we were hungry so we went to Olive Garden. (Soup, salad, and breadsticks are the greatest thing ever). Then we headed back to BAM and read Seventeen mag in their comfy chairs before heading home.
My whole day was rather spontaneous, which was a lot of fun. I'm in the list making mood, so I'm gonna go make some random lists. Maybe some of them will end up on here...

Summer Festivities

At noon today, I went and picked up Joy at her house and we began our trek to Plato's Closet. I had a general idea of where the store was located, but when I wrote down the directions I forgot to write down the type of road (blvd/ct/lane/street). I had no clue that there were two A.W.'s in O-town, so I turned down the wrong one, realized my mistake, and turned around. In the end, we found the store. I brought them some old clothes and got paid $30 for them. Joy and I looked around and found a bunch of good deals. Hollister jackets for 10, Roxy shirts for 5, bags for 2. I ended up spending 15 of my own money on six shirts and a bag. All name brand, usually expensive things. I got some good deals!! After P.C. we went to Panera and ate some delicious food, and Joy taught me how to customize this. We left, and got caught in a torrential downpour. I couldn't see two feet in front of me, and I thought we were gonna hydroplane, but luckily we made it home in one piece.

Later tonight I went to the home of Taliban and ... (trying to think of a nickname) Sod King. :D (SK for short). Moviefone, Smith, Taliban, Clark Kent and I piled into the back of the Bronco and drove to Walmart to get some (and by some, I mean a lot) of candy. Then we went back to SK's house and watched the Blues Brothers, Airplane, and Top Gear. It was a really fun time, and I got to see the Genuis after his trip to Columbia. All in all, it was a good day.

Wishing

As I sit on my bed, freshly clean and smelling like vanilla, I can't help but think about where I should be right now. I laugh when I catch myself wishing that I was on that big bus driving 13 hours to a remote mountain on the GA/TN border, but for the past five years around this exact time, that's what I have done. This year, on a whim, I decided not to go to Elevate, the youth group camp that I've gone to since the beginning of my days at Triple C. In a few short hours K. Katt, Chitty, J. Hadd, "C", Pike, B. Buck, R.Un., and all my fellow Triple C'ers will be meeting on top of the mountain for a fun filled week. They'll say hi to each other and act like they haven't been apart for a year. I wish I was going to the water park at 5 in the morning to play Swing Swing with Katt and "C", and then get smacked in the face by an ADD "C". Katt and I would laugh our heads off when we discover that "C" and "T" almost got kicked out for being stupid. And then we would head back up the mountain and I would sit down on my thinking rock, look over the edge of the mountain, and see all of Chattanooga. I long for that mountain all year long and it still amazes and confuses me that I didn't go when I had the chance.
With beauty like that sitting at my feet, it's impossible to be sad or confused when I sit on my rock.....



But back to the real world, where I am stuck for the time being. Last night there was a big storm and my power blew out. Luckily, Dragon had called me earlier that afternoon and asked me to spend the night, so I was saved from an unairconditioned home. Dragon, Lemon, and I went to Staples and Target like we do almost every time we're together. It's funny how immature the three of us get when we spend too much time apart and are then put back together. We went back to Dragon's and discussed everything from Literature to Geography to boys. I'm pretty sure Lemon was on crack or something because she couldn't stop laughing or making a weird comment every other second. After talking for a while, we realized how tired we were and we laid down in Dragon's bed and discussed baby names. I fell asleep halfway through that conversation and surprisingly, slept through the whole night.

Lately, my brain has been trying to process too much information and fix too many situations to slow down for 8 hours and let me actually sleep. But something about last night calmed me down. Most of the things I was worrying about were stupid and didn't really matter in the long run, so I guess I finally realized that and decided to quit thinking about them.


Well.... in an hour, I'm headed over to Joy's house to take her to P.C., a thrift store that buys your "gently used" clothes from you and lets you purchase their clothes. I hear that they have everything from Old Navy to Hollister to American Eagle and everything in between, so I'm super excited to find some good deals. After we shop, we're headed to Panera Bread. YUMMO.


Plans for tonight may include headed over to the O-town University for a little swing dancing. Supposedly you pay $5 a person and you get an hour long lesson and then you get to dance for three more hours.... The only problem- boys. You can't really go without one and I can't think of any boy that would be willing to go with me. So I'll probably do what I do every night, sit at home wishing someone would call me with something fun to do. :(


Anyways, sorry if this was a bit boring. I kinda treat this blog as my diary that other people get to read so I throw my emotions and random thoughts out there. Thanks for sticking with it.
